[CBQ] Re: E7 9949

["REX" <cbcduck@yahoo.com>]

Hello Duncan.  I have a photo of an E7 9919B dated 1958, at Chillicothe, MO.  
It is pulling a baggage/RPO and the pendulum car.  
Pass. service ran between Hannibel and St.Joe.
Was good business until Chillicothe Business College closed about 1955 or 56.  
Back then not every student had a car!
